you have gone from earth and its
cares set free; no one knew thy suff-

alone all is dark within our dwelling;
vacant is thy chair: lonely is our
home to-day, for the one we loved so
dearly, has from us now passed away,

the tear of sorrow drops in vain, no
signs nor sympathetic prayers can
bring it back to earth again near to

grave husband, a father, whose life
no love could save, o could the veil

in death looked bright, but murmur

his precious soul is now at rest,
